Wandayewose umkhana umufwiti wakonere
My sister is asleep.
Mdogo wangu amelala.
Kukhu ni mayi wose balikhuramba
My mother and grandmother are busy.
Mama na bibi wana kazi.
Kuka ni papa balikhuramba
My father and grandfather are busy.
Baba na babu wana kazi.
Inasomera nanu
Who can I read to? I can read to myself!
Nimsomee nani? Nijisomee mwenyewe!
